Summary
At the Velvet Curtain, people pay for fantasy, control, comfort, pain, relief.
The arrangement is supposed to be simple: professional, negotiated, contained. Instead it becomes a slow collision of obedience, trust, class resentment, and the kind of tension that builds long before either of them is willing to touch it. Outside the Curtain, Piltover is busy congratulating itself for caring about Zaun. Inside it, two women are learning that care without honesty is useless - and honesty between them may be the most dangerous thing of all.
